[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 10515, member: 792"] I have had bouts of paranoia about our toll roads, where they give you a time stamped ticket when you enter and then turn it in when you exit and the attendant sees where you got on and tells you the fee, somewhat distance based. It would be a simple chart to see that if you got on at X and you are leaving at Y and it is less than Z:zz on the clock, you averaged over the limit. I've never actually heard of it happening, but easy enough to do. The transponder toll road passes could do it just as easily. In addition, the OBD II "black boxes" in our cars have could yield speed info. That with GPS could make it a real Big Brother scenario. A bit different from George Brown making testing runs on the Great North Road or Ted Davis on the road on a Lightning. [/QUOTE]
